Classification and uses of steam
Thread Content
For the shell gasification process, what are the uses of the medium-pressure and high-pressure steam produced? How are high-pressure, medium-pressure, and superheated steam classified in engineering? What are the specific uses? Thanks :)
It can be used for power generation, conversion, and turbine-driven applications
As mentioned above, it can be used for power generation, conversion, and driving turbines, etc.; lol It can also be used as a heating medium (usually low-pressure steam). They are classified according to the steam pressure generated by the boiler as follows: low-pressure boilers (P≤2.5Mpa, T≤400℃), medium-pressure boilers (2.5Mpa＜P≤6Mpa, 400℃＜T≤450℃), high-pressure boilers (6Mpa＜P≤14Mpa, 460℃＜T≤540℃), ultra-high-pressure boilers (14Mpa＜P≤17Mpa, 540℃＜T≤570℃), sub-critical pressure boilers (P≤17–18Mpa, 540℃＜T≤570℃), and super-critical pressure boilers. There are similar posts on the forum; search for them to understand better. :lol
You can take a look at this post below: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-411311-1-1.html. Conventional high-pressure and medium-pressure steam is generally used as a power source, while low-pressure steam is typically used as a heat source. When our company designs finned heat exchangers and heaters, the steam heat sources we encounter are all of low pressure.
